Exodus 1:9 in Context — Exodus 1

7 os filhos de Israel cresceram e multiplicaram, e foram aumentados e fortalecidos grandemente; de maneira que a terra encheu-se deles.

8 Levantou-se, entretanto, um novo rei sobre o Egito, que não conhecia José.

9 Ele disse ao seu povo: Eis que o povo dos filhos de Israel é maior e mais forte que nós;

10 Agora, pois, sejamos astutos para com ele, a fim de que não se multiplique, e aconteça que caso venha guerra, ele se alie aos nossos inimigos, lute contra nós, e saia desta terra.

11 Então puseram sobre [o povo de Israel] capatazes para os oprimirem com trabalhos forçados; e edificaram a Faraó as cidades de armazenamento, Pitom e Ramessés.
